One never goes grocery shopping on a sunday because that is when the rest of the world goes grocery shopping.

Never go saturday morning unless it's before 8am as that it when the moms who couldn't go during the week go with their broad of kids.

Weekday mornings before 10am or weekday nights after 6pm is the best times to go.

The ultimate time to go? Friday night, the store is bare of people. It's great.

How did you spend that much for one person? I don't spend half that to feed hubby, baby & I! WOW!

Actually, there is a Publix in Vinings where all the single people go on Sundays.
QW- she's single, she needs to put herself where boys will be and increase the chances of meeting a nice guy. I'd much rather meet a guy in the meat section than a bar. So many questions to ask to start the conversation. ;-)

That's the worst part - and believe it or not...I still haven't stocked. Not.At.All.

I've got to just bite the bullet and get 'er done but OUCH......

In Pensacola, they used to have singles night at the local grocery store and they used to play games like toss the doughnut on the banana. No shit.

Morrigan- She should meet him in the meat section? Why not the frickin' melon section. "Excuse me, which size melon do you think is best?" Or "Excuse me which size meat do you think is best?"

Geez...I've met guys and Best Buy, auto shops, and even liquor stores. But not grocery stores. Grocery shopping takes too much thought/attention for me, as I posted. I hate it! I don't see myself meeting someone at the grocery store.

Plus, usually I go up to the store really quick to pick something up and when I do....I look like ass! And at this moment, I know Morrigan is yelling! But I do.

as man is picking up pork tenderloin Sissy says, "Excuse me but I personally enjoy the 12 inch pork loin.

Or as he's picking up a melon, "Excuse me, but really, don't you think that melon is too big? You know what they say about more than a mouthful..."

"Ya know I prefer to beat my meat."

Or in the produce section, "Excuse me, How can you tell if a cucumber is too big?"

In the poultry aisle, "Are you a breast or leg man?"

How many boxes of jello do you think it takes to fill a tub?

"How many bottles of you do you prefer when wrestling?"

Pardon-

"How many bottles of oil do you prefer when wrestling?"

In the cleaning section of the store, "Which product do you think works best for removing protein stains?"

"Do you prefer chocolate or whipped cream?"

I think I'd get locked up as some pervert if I used these!

Wow, these comments are sounding like a porno script.

Oh! Oh! Oh! How do you like your Tuna?

"Do you like pancakes for breakfast?"

Really, the possibilities are endless...

See there Sissy...I see a promising trip to Publix in your future.

Hey - I'll be callin' on Publix corporate in a few months. Maybe I outta suggest a "special singles section" be added to the stores. ;-)

Bou and Mo are cracking me up - I'm going to laugh during my first big grocery store trip once we move next week :) I remember when Spurs moved to Vinings and went to that Publix for the first time in his sweat pants, tshirt and ball cap - he never went on a Sunday again and all he could think was Wow do people in the ATL really dress like this everytime they go to the grocery store - and - Wow are there this many hot women in this town? But I'm with Sissy, I have to concentrate so much when I'm shopping since I'm not the cook in the house - I have to make sure I'm buying the correct things for Spurs or I won't be getting dinner that night :)

Years ago, there was a Kroger in Buckhead on Piedmont, just north of Peachtree. They called it the Disco Kroger (well, it was the '80's) because it was adjacent to the Limelight, a Big-Deal Disco. The Kroger swarmed with attractive, horny single people...many of whom were there to buy toothbrushes. Heh.

Wow, couldn't think of a single thing to say so I'm going to post something I read awhile back on someone's site. W

While sporting a big smile and holding a bottle of honey in one hand and a banana in the other ask the desired guy if he's seen 6 1/2 weeks.

If the answer is yes, you need not say more. If the answer is no, wait for the next guy.

I was about to mention the Disco Kroger myself... there still is one, but it's down around Ansley Square and I don't go there.

If you want to take a risk and head to the mountains...

"What's the best way to lard my chitlins?"

QW: Friday night is date night at the Super Walmart in this area...except since the hurricanes, we've had a huge influx of Mexicans. So Sissy would have to know some Spanish to meet the men.

(Note to Sissy: in TexMex Spanish-lingo, 'huevos' doesn't necessarily mean eggs...it also means 'testicles'...so be prepared if you ask a man where the huevos are!!)

Or how about:

Is your pickup a regular size or do you have to have an extended cab?

I spent 12 years of my life in the grocery business, Sadly most of the women I picked up there were married. (not a proud time of my life) I also met my ex-wife in a grocery store... (long, deep, heavy sigh)
However, as a single man (and a Hell of a cook) a quick suggestion. Meat: buy family-packs and freezer bags and split into individual meals. I take two porkchops (or flank steaks or breast strips or whatever) and place side by side in a bag (On top of each other they stick together and take longer to thaw). You can also marinate them (along with peppers onions &tc) as you package them, then you can just throw them in a pan without waiting for them to thaw at all. Also if you need a bigger meal, you can just take out more packages.
Using this method and an envelope of lipton flavored noodles (or rice) and an odd vegitable or two I can make an actual meal for myself for $2-$3 in around 15 mins.
Oh, and as for meeting guys you can shun the use of lines. Just give a smile and say "hi". As a whole men are pretty easy to pick up. (although I would love to meet a girl tough enough to use some of the lines they threw out...)

Satnd in the freezer section, until you are nice and perky....walk through the store and ask people...

"do you like my tits?"

Sissy - Hope you enjoyed the Crippleanche.

Armywife - Is that the voice of experience?

Well I need a shower now.

Might leave the hot tap off on this one.

Serious, go to the meat section and say, "I need a nice thick, firm piece of meat to fill me."

Yep, either that or go to the liqour section and say, "I can't remember what removes my clothes faster, beer or rum. Eh, I'll just get both."

Good Gawd. Get Bou and Morrigan away from Bou's kids, and all hell breaks loose. And ArmyWife, you are a caution, yes you are!

Go to the freezer section for a box of popscicles while exclaiming, "I can get a whole one in my mouth at one time now that I don't have that gag reflex anymore!" Repeat same in produce with bananas and cucumbers!

Oddy,

Did you just bring up the notorious lack of gag reflex?

Now that is dangerous....

Mo, did you ever ask your Mom if it was heriditary?

AWTM: Ummm... no we didn't ask. And I think it is just me. I don't think Mo will jump on that bandwagon publicly. Heh!

Elisson: Yeah, our Mom is so proud right now!

EGAD- Sorry Mom! I am clearly the sweet daughter who was pulled into this by the impressionable older sister. I am not the one who admits to the lack of gag reflex. *halo*

I used to live down the street from the Disco Kroger back in the 80's. It was always a pretty interesting area.

Just stand near the exit: "Would you like some help carrying your meat?"
